Actes 12
1 Or vers ce temps-là, le roi Hérode mit les mains sur quelques-uns de ceux de l’assemblée pour les maltraiter,
At that [very] now time put forth Herod the king the hands to mistreat some of those of the church.
2 et il fit mourir par l’épée Jacques, le frère de Jean.
He executed then James the brother of John with the sword.
3 Et voyant que cela était agréable aux Juifs, il continua, en faisant prendre aussi Pierre; (or c’étaient les jours des pains sans levain; )
(and *k*) Having seen (now *no*) that pleasing it is to the Jews, he proceeded to take also Peter — these were now (the *no*) days of the Unleavened [Bread] —
4 et quand il l’eut fait prendre, il le mit en prison, et le livra à quatre bandes de quatre soldats chacune pour le garder, voulant, après la Pâque, le produire devant le peuple.
whom also having seized he put in prison having delivered [him] to four sets of four soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring out him to the people.
5 Pierre donc était gardé dans la prison; mais l’assemblée faisait d’instantes prières à Dieu pour lui.
Indeed therefore Peter was kept in the prison; prayer however was (fervently *N(k)O*) being made by the church to God (concerning *N(k)O*) him.
6 Mais lorsque Hérode allait le produire, cette nuit-là, Pierre dormait entre deux soldats, lié de deux chaînes; et des gardes, devant la porte, gardaient la prison.
When then was about (to bring forth *N(k)(o)*) him Herod, in the night that [one] was Peter sleeping between two soldiers bound with chains two, guards also before the door were watching the prison.
7 Et voici, un ange du Seigneur survint, et une lumière resplendit dans la prison; et frappant le côté de Pierre, il le réveilla, disant: Lève-toi promptement. Et les chaînes tombèrent de ses mains.
And behold an angel of [the] Lord stood by and a light shone in the cell; Having struck then the side of Peter he woke up him saying; do rise up with speed. And fell of him the chains off the hands.
8 Et l’ange lui dit: Ceins-toi et chausse tes sandales. Et il fit ainsi. Et il lui dit: Jette ton vêtement sur toi et suis-moi.
Said (then *N(k)O*) the angel to him; (do dress yourself *N(K)O*) and do yourself put on the sandals of you. He did and so. And he says to him; do yourself wrap around the cloak of you and do follow me.
9 Et sortant, il le suivit; et il ne savait pas que ce qui se faisait par l’ange était réel, mais il croyait voir une vision.
And having gone forth he was following (him; *k*) and not did know that real is what is happening through the angel, he was thinking however a vision to see.
10 Et ayant passé la première et la seconde garde, ils vinrent à la porte de fer qui conduit à la ville, et elle s’ouvrit à eux d’elle-même; et, étant sortis, ils allèrent jusqu’au bout d’une rue; et aussitôt l’ange se retira d’avec lui.
Having passed through then a first guard and a second they came to the gate iron which is leading into the city, which by itself (opened *N(k)O*) to them, And having gone out they went on through street one and immediately departed the angel from him.
11 Et Pierre, étant revenu à lui, dit: Je connais à présent certainement que le Seigneur a envoyé son ange, et m’a délivré de la main d’Hérode et de toute l’attente du peuple des Juifs.
And Peter to himself having come said; Now I know truly that has sent forth (the *no*) Lord the angel of Him and delivered me out of [the] hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 Et s’étant reconnu, il se rendit à la maison de Marie, mère de Jean surnommé Marc, où plusieurs étaient assemblés et priaient.
Having considered [it] also he came to the house (*no*) of Mary the mother of John who is called Mark, where were many gathered together and praying.
13 Et comme il heurtait à la porte du vestibule, une servante nommée Rhode vint pour écouter;
When was knocking then (*k*) (he *N(K)O*) [at] the door of the gate came a girl to answer named Rhoda;
14 et reconnaissant la voix de Pierre, de joie elle n’ouvrit point le vestibule; mais étant rentrée en courant, elle rapporta que Pierre se tenait devant le vestibule.
And having recognized the voice of Peter from joy not she opened the gate having run in but she reported to have been standing Peter before the gate.
15 Et ils lui dirent: Tu es folle. Mais elle affirmait qu’il en était ainsi. Et ils disaient: C’est son ange.
And to her they said; You rave. But she was insisting [it] so to be. And they were saying; The angel it is of him.
16 Mais Pierre continuait à heurter; et quand ils eurent ouvert, ils le virent et furent hors d’eux.
But Peter was continuing knocking; having opened [it] then they saw him and were amazed.
17 Et leur ayant fait signe de la main de se taire, il leur raconta comment le Seigneur l’avait fait sortir de la prison; et il dit: Rapportez ces choses à Jacques et aux frères. Et sortant, il s’en alla en un autre lieu.
Having made a sign then to them with the hand to be silent, he related to them how the Lord him had brought out of the prison; He said (then; *N(k)O*) do report to James and to the brothers these things. And having gone out he went to another place.
18 Mais le jour étant venu, il y eut un grand trouble parmi les soldats au sujet de ce que Pierre était donc devenu.
When was coming now day there was disturbance no small among the soldiers what then [of] Peter has become.
19 Et Hérode, l’ayant cherché et ne l’ayant pas trouvé, fit subir un interrogatoire aux gardes et donna ordre qu’ils soient emmenés au supplice. Et descendant de la Judée à Césarée, il y séjourna.
Herod then having sought after him and not having found [him] having examined the guards he commanded [them] to be led away [to death], And having gone down from Judea to (*k*) Caesarea he was staying [there].
20 Or il était très irrité contre les Tyriens et les Sidoniens; mais ils vinrent à lui d’un commun accord, et ayant gagné Blaste le chambellan du roi, ils demandèrent la paix, parce que leur pays était nourri par celui du roi.
He was now (*k*) (Herod *K*) furiously angry with [the] Tyrians and Sidonians; with one accord then they were coming to him And having gained Blastus who [was] over the bedchamber of the king they were seeking peace, because of being nourished their region by the king’s.
21 Et, à un jour marqué, Hérode, revêtu d’une robe royale et assis sur une estrade, les haranguait.
On the appointed now day Herod having put on apparel royal and having sat on the throne was making an address to them.
22 Et le peuple s’écriait: Voix d’un dieu et non pas d’un homme!
And the people were crying out; Of a god [this is the] voice and not of a man!
23 Et à l’instant un ange du Seigneur le frappa, parce qu’il n’avait pas donné la gloire à Dieu; et, étant rongé par les vers, il expira.
Immediately then struck him an angel of [the] Lord in return for that not he gave the glory to God, and having been eaten by worms he breathed his last.
24 Mais la parole de Dieu croissait et se multipliait.
But the word (of God *NK(O)*) was continuing to grow and was being multiplied.
25 Et Barnabas et Saul, ayant accompli leur service, s’en retournèrent de Jérusalem, emmenant aussi avec eux Jean qui était surnommé Marc.
Barnabas then and Saul returned (to *N(K)O*) Jerusalem having fulfilled the mission, having taken with [them] (and *k*) John the [one] having been called Mark.
